DRAWS THE LINE AT WICHITA

The travelling correspondent of the
Peabody Graphic was in Wichita last
Saturday, November 26, and after talk
ing in the city with view to giving it
a comprehensive write up, concluded
that his masticating organs. metaphor
cally speaking. We're not equal to the
undertaking and he was frank enough
to say so in the following brief manner:
Il have always taken unto my soul
the f1attering JUNCTION that | was able to
write up anything from country
dance to a worlds exposition, or a dog
fight to a national convention. but | find
that ] must draw the line al Wichita.
Like the proverbial profane man, l
couldn't 90 the subject justice In
brief | will say that the stories we have
all heard of It's wonderful growth and
great boom are all true, only the half

last week. and can see no difference be-
tween the two cities except in point Of
size. The same great business activity.
the same monster buildings. the same
rush and hurry. hustle and feverish in
tensity of purpose characterizes both
these great western business centers.

TO BE GUARDED AGAINST.

There will be such a elimination of
important interests i'll Wichita next
spring, and our building operations will
be of such magnitude, that there is al
ready fear of boom. Steady, boys.
So-called booms, that is, real-estate
crazes, are dangerous. Several of the
brightest cities i'll the west are liable-we
think must inevitably collapse under the
strain OF fictitious and unwarranted val
ues reached by unimproved properties.
For fear of tramping on somebody's toes
we viii cite no place nearer than Los
Angeles and San Diego, California. Wich-
tia property is now worth its present
prices in full and the man who wants any
Of it should be prepared to pay the cash
down in full.

THE NILE OF AMERICA.

The Arkansas is the Nile of America
and Wichita is what her Thebes was and
will be what her Cairo is. See what
Colonel Stewart says in his latest and
last and best letter about the striking
resemblance of that historical stream to
oar own great river. We have long
hoped to live to find the man who should
appreciate our poem, and now we have
found him in the person of friend who
having encompassed the globe, stands
upon classical shores mid the ruins Of
forgotten centuries and calmly writes
that the Divine afflatus was ours.

THE WAY We GOT EN-.

The EAGLE always told its readers the
way to get other peoples property and
money was to keep down taxes. Now
our low taxes alone gives Wichita big
per cent OF advantage over any other
town or city in this or in any other west
ern state of which we have any knowl-
edge When we have to secure any
great enterprises let's continue as of old,
to go down in our pockets for the ready
cash. Its like bread sown upon the
waters.

art of this city during his tour of the
east running through the past six
months. 1t is needless for Us to say
that these letters. written in Colonel
Stewards most pleasing and instructive
style, have been read with deep interest
and profit by the thousands who read
the EAGLE. The writer's faculty for
taking in everything to be seen, his
versatility and acute discrimination in
culling out from the volumes of scenes
and incidents and weaving them into
charming letters have given them special
interest and him marked distinction. In
our judgment the series of letters that
have appeared in the EAGLE from
Colonel Stewart are the best that have
appeared in any American newspaper of
c0ntemporaneous date. In a private
note TO the editor Colonel Stewart states
that he purposed TO set sail from Liver
pUol for America November 18th. and if
he met with no hinderance in starting
nor delays enroute lie should be at home
within day or two. He and his estima-
bic wife will receive a most heartily well
come home from neighbors and friends.

WHY WICHITA.

The attention of manufacturer, cap
talsts and investors is called to the fact
that our county and state tax is but nine
mills, and that of our city but one cent,
based on ridiculously low valuation,
and that it is now known that the taxa
bic valuation of the city alone will be
increased by several millions next year.
These facts are important to manufac-
turer desiring new locations.

more men iii order to meet the de-
mands. The force will be increased as
occasion requires. Before this time
next year Wichita will have considera bic
over two hundred manufactures in
active operation, and some of them the
largest in the United States Wichita is
surely destined to become the manufac-
turing, wholesale and railroad center of
this great state of ours. She is now
leading all others in this direction at the
present time. and she will continue as IN
the past to extend inducements TO manu-.
factories that no other city in the west
can come within gun shot range of meet
ing 1t affords us pleasure TO note hel
rapid strides to the front. We are proud
of Wichita and proud of the fact that

TAXES TWO AND A FRACTION.

The EAGLE, during the summer, called
the attention of eastern capitalists and
investors to the fact that neither Sedg-
wick county nor the city of Wichita had
any bonded debt, worth mentioning. and
predicting that while our taxes had been
lower for years than any other county
or city in the state, they would not
be over one-half of that of any other city
or county for the present year and prob
ably for all the future. Our prediction
has been in fact verified. as will be seen
in another column. Our state, comfy
and bonded tax for 1SS7-S is but nine
mills and a fraction: that of our city for
all purposes Just one cent, and that of
our school and school bond tax. eight
mills. making a total of twenty-seven
mills. This is based on an assessed valu-
alton of about twenty-five or twenty
seven per cent of the true or saleable
valuation OF property.

In his recent excellent report to the

the need of providing against future
emergencies requiring defense of our
seaboard and recommends a wise ex-
penditure of money for that purpose.
There is no doubt that TO hedge ourselves
about with a bristling array of prepare
ton would be the most certain method
of discouraging any foreign intrusion.
and of giving pause to projects of
that kind. The admiral says:
Our treasurer is filed with gold and it
seems contrary to common sense to have
it living useless in the vaults when there
are soimany OF the sons of toll unemployed
and such vast quantities of material I'M
used. The mechanics of the country by
the exercise of their skill. would turn all
the materials TO good account in the con
struction of steel or iron ships, and every
blow they struck would be blow for the
protection OF their country.

the character he was performing.
On one occasion in particular the
pathos OF the poor jester's hard fate
appealed to him more powerfully than
it had been wont to do; he began to
identity himself with the twisted and
tortured Bertuccio; the tears rose to
his eyes and streamed down his face;
his voice was broken with honest
